What's happening in the David Mary Custom shop?

[David Mary]

My drill press coil just broke. Time to find a new one

If only is were that simple. Now the whole shaft fell out of the unit.

Guess I’m getting a whole new drill press. What’s money anyway? You can’t eat it…. Wait

Already found it. I'll take care of it next week.

Basically, jbmonkey , there is never not dust. There's enough dust from knife materials on my shop floor in the hard to reach spots for the broom that I could make a hundred or more knives.

If I were to wash that drill press perfectly clean today, it would look like that again Wednesday.

gotcha dust.

I wouldn't do it, due to the sizes of the dust and danger of it, but I'd sure be tempted to take the blower to the shop and blow it out.......

It wouldn't be necessary. It's not going to hurt anything behind/under the workbench and such. Important thing is not having dust airborne.
